Mets’ Thrilling Comeback Attempt Ends in Agonizing Extra Innings Loss

Down five runs in the sixth inning with no signs of life on offense, the Mets (63-50) appeared in line for another lackluster loss. That is, until the offense woke up and almost provided one of the best wins of the 2025 season. But several missed chances and a defensive blunder in extra innings led to not a lackluster loss, but the kind of loss that keeps you up at night. In the series opener...

Mets Drop to 0-4 With Shutout Loss to Tigers

The Mets (0-4) entered Monday’s series opener against the Tigers (4-0) searching for what has been an elusive first win of the season. Sean Manaea was tasked with righting the ship, taking the mound against Reese Olson and the Tigers.

Mets Drop Fifth Straight, Lose 7-3 To Orioles

Poor pitching and offense have defined the Mets following the trade deadline. In a Saturday night matchup between Tylor Megill and Kyle Gibson, it was more of the same as the Orioles defeated the Mets 7-3. New York has now lost five consecutive games while being outscored 37-14. In his return to the big leagues after a shaky stint in the minors, Megill was hit hard right from the outset. The...

James McCann, Orioles Embarrass Mets 10-3

It’s been hard to find any positives with the Mets’ performance on the field this week. Following a sweep at the hands of the dreadful Royals, the Mets traveled to Baltimore and demonstrated more of the same sluggish, uncompetitive play Friday night as they lost 10-3 to the Orioles. “We have to play better,” Buck Showalter said following the game. “Some people that are getting...

Robertson Gives Up Three-Run Homer, Mets Lose 5-4 to Giants

The Mets hosted the Giants for the first game of a three-game set on Friday night. The game officially marked the beginning of the second half of the season for the Mets, and if this game is a sign of things to come, the team will only continue to disappoint.

Defensive Mishaps Punish Mets in 5-1 Loss to Phillies

If there are two main reasons why the Mets have been a sub-.500 ball club this year, it’s because of first-inning struggles and inexcusable mental miscues. When you fall behind early and consistently make mistakes, you’re going to lose more games than you win. That remained true on Friday night as the Mets fell behind due to multiple defensive mishaps and couldn’t get the offense going,...
